To destroy a great TV show with out-of-character actions and inconsistent logic for the sake of unneeded twists. Usually associated with Game of Thrones, but can be applied to Lost, Dexter, and other TV series.
Did you watch the last episode of Game of Thrones? D&D love to subvert expectations. Yesterday, they transformed Jon Snow into a wolf and made him eat Sansa.

A term best described as adding 'out of character' behaviour and lines to the characters and unnecessary plot twists for the sake of drama and shock value. Exc. Game of Thrones S8.
"We kind of forgot about good writing and logic so we decided to subvert expectations this season because, you know, shock value."
